5 Stocks You Can Confidently Invest $500 in Right Now
After a disappointing start to this month, the Canadian equity markets have witnessed healthy buying over the last few days. The lower-than-expected inflation in the United States has raised the hopes of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, thus driving the equity markets higher. Amid improving investor sentiments, here are five top Canadian stocks you can buy without hesitation.
在本月的一個令人失望的開始之後,加拿大股票市場在過去幾天裏出現了健康的買盤。美國的通脹低於預期,提高了聯邦儲備局減息的希望,從而推動了股票市場的上漲。在投資者情緒改善的背景下,以下是五隻你可以毫不猶豫地購買的加拿大頂級股票。
goeasy
goeasy
goeasy (TSX:GSY) is a Canadian subprime lender that has grown its financials at a healthier rate for the last two decades. Despite the strong growth, it has acquired just 2% of the $218 billion Canadian subprime market. Given its expanded product offerings, solid distribution channels, and impressive digital infrastructure, the company hopes to expand its market share.
goeasy(TSX:GSY)是一家加拿大的次貸放貸機構,過去20年來,其財務狀況增長得更爲健康。儘管增長強勁,但它僅佔到了2180億加元加拿大次貸市場的2%。鑑於其擴大的產品供應、穩定的分銷渠道和出色的數字基礎設施,該公司希望擴大其市場份額。
The falling interest rates and easing inflation could boost economic activities, thus driving credit demand and expanding the addressable market for goeasy. Meanwhile, the company's management expects its loan portfolio to reach $6 billion by 2026, representing a 45% increase from its June-ending levels. The expansion could grow its top line at an annualized rate of 14% through 2026 while expanding its operating margin to 42%. Given its healthy growth prospects, I am bullish on goeasy.
降低的利率和緩和的通脹可能會提振經濟活動,從而推動信貸需求並擴大goeasy的可尋址市場。與此同時,該公司管理層預計其貸款組合將在2026年達到60億加元,較6月底水平增長45%。這種擴張可能使其營業收入年均增長14%,並將其營業利潤率擴大到42%。鑑於其良好的增長前景,我對goeasy持看好態度。
Dollarama
Dollarama
Dollarama (TSX:DOL) operates 1,569 stores at convenient locations across the country. Given its superior direct sourcing and efficient logistics, the company offers several consumer products at attractive prices, thus enjoying healthy same-store sales even during challenging environments. Further, the company is expanding its footprint and expects to reach a store count of 2,000 by the end of 2031.
Dollarama(TSX:DOL)在全國各地的便利地點運營1569家商店。憑藉其優越的直接採購和高效的物流,該公司以優惠的價格提供多種消費品,即使在困難的環境下也享受良好的店內銷售。此外,該公司正在擴大業務範圍,並計劃在2031年底達到2000家商店。
Besides, it recently hiked its stake in Dollarcity, a value retailer in Latin America, from 50.1% to 60.1%. Further, Dollarcity plans to add around 500 stores over the next six years. Considering all these factors, Dollarama's financial growth could continue, driving its stock price.
此外,它最近將其在拉丁美洲的折扣零售商Dollarcity的持股比例從50.1%增至60.1%。此外,Dollarcity計劃在未來六年內新增約500家商店。考慮到所有這些因素,Dollarama的財務增長可能持續推動其股價上漲。
Waste Connections
廢物管理公司Waste Connections
Another TSX stock you can buy without any hesitation is Waste Connections (TSX:WCN). The waste management company operates in the secondary and exclusive markets of the United States and Canada, thus facing lesser competition and enjoying higher margins. Meanwhile, the company is constructing several renewable natural gas and resource recovery facilities, which could become operational over the next few years.
在不受任何猶豫的情況下,您還可以購買另一個 TSX 股票——Waste Connections (TSX:WCN)。該廢物管理公司在美國和加拿大的二級和專屬市場運營,因此面臨較少的競爭並享受更高的利潤率。與此同時,該公司正在建設多個可再生天然氣和資源回收設施,預計在未來幾年內投入運營。
The company has made 18 acquisitions year-to-date, which could contribute $500 million to its annualized revenue. Meanwhile, the management expects to continue with its M&A (merger and acquisitions) in the second half to increase the revenue contribution for its acquisitions to $700 million by the end of this year. So, its growth prospects look healthy.
該公司今年迄今已完成了18項收購,這可能爲其年化營業收入貢獻5千萬美元。同時,該管理層預計在下半年繼續進行併購(合併和收購),以使其收購的營業收入貢獻在今年年底前達到7千萬美元。因此,其增長前景看好。
Fortis
fortis
Fourth on my list is Fortis (TSX:FTS), an electric and natural gas utility company that serves 3.5 million customers in Canada, the United States, and the Caribbean. With around 99% of its assets regulated, the company's financials are less susceptible to market volatility. Supported by its healthy cash flows, the company has increased its dividends for 50 consecutive years, with its forward yield at 4%.
我名單上的第四個是Fortis (TSX:FTS),這是一家在加拿大、美國和加勒比地區爲350萬客戶提供電力和天然氣的公用事業公司。該公司約99%的資產受到監管,其財務狀況不容易受到市場波動的影響。在良好的現金流支持下,該公司連續50年提高了其股息,其前瞻性回報率爲4%。
Meanwhile, Fortis is progressing with its $25 billion capital plan, which extends from 2024 to 2028. These investments could deliver annualized rate base growth of 6.3% through 2028, boosting its financials. Moreover, the central bank has slashed interest rates twice this year, and investors are hopeful of one more cut this year. Given its capital-intensive business, lower interest rates could reduce its interest burden, thus improving its profitability.
與此同時,Fortis正在推進總計250億加元的資本計劃,該計劃從2024年持續到2028年。這些投資將帶來6.3%的年化率基增長,從而提升其財務狀況。此外,央行今年已兩次下調利率,投資者對今年還有一次減息抱有希望。考慮到其資本密集型業務,低利率可以減輕其利息負擔,從而改善其盈利能力。
Enbridge
恩橋
Enbridge (TSX:ENB) operates a highly contracted midstream energy business, with around 98% of its cash flows generated from long-term cost-of-service contracts. With around 80% of its adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization) inflation-indexed, its financials are less susceptible to an inflationary environment. So, the company generates stable and predictable cash flows, allowing it to raise its dividends for 29 previous years at an annualized rate of 10%.
Enbridge (TSX:ENB) 運營着一個高度合同化的中游能源業務,約98%的現金流來自長期的成本服務合同。約80%的調整後的 EBITDA(利息、稅項、折舊和攤銷前利潤)與通脹關聯,其財務狀況不容易受到通脹環境的影響。因此,該公司產生穩定可靠的現金流,使其能夠以10%的年化率連續29年提高股息。
Moreover, Enbridge has expanded its footprint in the natural gas utility space by acquiring two assets in the United States and is working on completing the third deal. Further, it is growing its asset base through $24 billion in secured capital, with an annual deployment of $6-$7 billion. Given its healthy growth prospects and stable cash flows, Enbridge could continue its dividend growth, making it an excellent buy.
此外,恩橋已通過收購美國的兩個資產擴大了其在天然氣公用事業領域的影響力,並正在努力完成第三筆交易。此外,它通過240億美元的資本保障,以及每年6-7億美元的投資增加其資產基礎。鑑於其良好的增長前景和穩定的現金流,恩橋有可能繼續增加紅利派息,使其成爲一個極好的買入股票。
